A Dallas District Court Judge has recently made a series of rulings in Routier's favor, ordering the prosecution to turn over evidence that should have been tested 10 years ago.
A series of bloody fingerprints, and the bloody sock, are finally being tested, as well as some 30 pieces of DNA evidence that the prosecution withheld.
Routier has been offered life (if she elocutes) twice within the last 2 years. The DA's office appears to be running scared, w/ the Judge making comments indicating that he suspects possible prosecutorial misconduct.
Rowlett police were thorough...
I follow this case pretty closely, and this is the first I've read about any of this.
The fact is, all the circumstantial evidence is against Routier. The bloody sock was planted. It makes no sense that someone would have killed those two boys, and not checked the rest of the house to make sure there was no one else to kill.
Routier's "injuries" were self-inflicted, and the knife was placed back in its knife holder.
Sorry. Routier's guilty, and should be executed. She likely won't be, but she will certainly never see freedom again.
